Do:
- Look for a good quality food with meat or protein in the first three ingredients.
- Feed your dog the recommended amount of quality dog food daily.
- Feed you dogs dry food. It helps clean their teeth!
- Find a flavor and brand of food your dog likes and don’t switch!
Don’t:
- Feed your dog table scraps. These can be fattening and unbalanced nutrition-wise.
- Free feed your dogs regularly.
- Feed chicken or other porous and small bones, onions, grapes, chocolate... all bad!
- Over feed your dog because she “looks hungry.”
Remember: Find a good quality food that doggy likes and stick to it! Maintain a healthy weight for a happy dog!
